Stevie let out a harsh laugh.
"Let's see if you'll still say that if I tell you who it was. Everyone cares until they hear who it was then it's always 'why him, duh' No one actually cares. Everyone pretends they do until they get what they need from you. Tossed away like a used fucking condom. Trash."

Rhona tilted her head and raised a brow in confusion. “Then who was it?”

Stevie opened her mouth and her heart gave a horrible lurch.
"Leon. It-It was Leon."

“Oh, Lightning Dragon, I don’t know him personally but my home town thought highly of him as well as the other dragons, really anyone with a god right we practically worshiped. I can’t imagine turning my back on you because you had feelings for him.” She was a little confused as to what the woman could possibly mean. “I can’t understand why people would throw you away. Sounds like you could use some new friends to be honest.”

Stevie was shocked. Her mouth dropped open.
"Wait. You don't think it's stupid like everyone else in this fucking world?"
She looked down at her water, mouth still open.

“My Mother hammered into me voices of Aphrodite and a few others I am from a town around Mt. Olympus; Love is love. Did you know him... personally I mean?” She’d continue.

Stevie smiled up at her.
"We worked together. And sometimes we-"
Blush
"We were together."

“Sounds like you have something to grieve over, no matter what anyone else feels.” The corners of her mouth curved into a grin. “My offer still stands if you want to vent some frustrations or just talk it out? If you got that close to The Lightning Dragon he probably thought highly of you in someway. I know he was physically old but he was kinda a looker besides that.”

Stevie's cheeks remained flushed. She hiccupped. Oh great. She had this to deal with now too. Wonderful.
"Sounds like I just made a friend. And yeah he was pretty hot. Stupid, but hot."
Stevie would finally smile at Rhona.
"What about you? What's your story?"

“Oh... I was a soldier working my way through Cabal when all this happened. Trying to make my family proud in the afterlife before I meet them again. Always thinking how they and the gods favored my actions. When the Riot struck I bit off more than I can chew and I’ve since lost my Qi. Which I absorbed power from the sun, you see?” Rhona felt it’s absence too she felt colder and got chills often. She dressed more warmly with pants and full tank tops instead of straight sports bra. She also had a jacket one that was filled with her patches and metals from the past world. It felt hard to get rid of it now. She felt it was suddenly the only proof of her abilities even if no one knew what they all meant anymore.

Stevie nodded absentmindedly. She knew a thing or two about trying to make family proud. Too bad they were dead now.
"Lost your Qi? Thats a thing? Oh man..."
Stevie was at a loss for words. How does on cope after that? Normal to feeling like you've been chosen and then back to normal? She was pretty sure she couldn't do that. Rhona Hall must've been something special...
"You said you were from near Olympus?"

“Yes my family taught various things to help young minds learn their Qi and many of them wanted to gain god rights of their own so we helped them with that as well.” Rhona chuckled memorizing the past. “I so didn’t take advantage of it as much as I should. I just wanted to punch and compete.”

Stevie smirked and rolled her eyes. Pause.
"Oh not to you. I do and did too. I was going after the Water Dragon. I was just at the border when I had to come back. I wanted to show Leon I could be a Dragon. That I was strong enough to stand beside him and he didn't have to worry. And here I am spilling my guts again. Sorry."
Stevie mumbled the last.

“Nothing to apologize for.” Rhona grinned. “I’ve been given a chance to show some of these kids who’ve been here eight years to put them through a better taste of what we were molded in. Dragons don’t matter, gods don’t matter, our history no longer matters... I’m having trouble deciding if I’m relieved or terrified by the idea.”

Stevie's smile faded.
"Terrified."
